Meh, it hardly matters how much Acro prevaricates and avoids confronting the necessary criteria of realism, or how.
It can’t be any simpler. Realism requires a fact of a matter. If he knows that fact, he can show that fact. If he can’t, he doesn’t know it. He believes it. Beliefs are a description of subjective states.
Functionally, knowing that genocide is wrong and believing that genocide is wrong are equivalent. The same moral system or theory can be built out of beliefs or facts.
If, however, he wants to call his moral system realism, there’s just no way around providing at least one fact of the matter. He’s only arguing against himself by babbling on about honesty. A person can be honestly wrong, but that, too, requires some fact of the matter to be wrong about.
